Story
🌙 Meet Bay! 🌙 Bay is a distinguished senior gentleman with a sleek black coat and a heart full of love. While he prefers to be the only cat in the home (he enjoys having his kingdom to himself), Bay has more than enough affection to give his people. He’s incredibly cuddly, happiest when he’s soaking up attention, curling into your lap, or purring contentedly by your side. Bay is also FIV+ (feline immunodeficiency virus positive). This simply means his immune system is a little weaker than other cats, but with good care and a loving home, he can live a long, happy life. He’s looking for a quiet, caring home where he can spend his golden years being cherished. If you’re hoping for a loyal, affectionate companion who will be your shadow and snuggle buddy, Bay may be the perfect match. Give this sweet senior the cozy forever home he deserves—you’ll be rewarded with endless love. 💕🐾 Bay is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all of his vaccinations. You can meet him at the CASPCA between the hours of 12 and 6 PM daily, no appointment necessary. If you have any additional questions, please email adoptions@caspca.org.

Story
**Bucko's adoption fee has been generously sponsored - take him home for no fee today!** Meet Bucko — Your New Barn side Buddy! Bucko is a handsome 10-year-old gentleman who has spent his whole life doing what he loves most: patrolling the great outdoors, soaking up sunshine, and keeping barns mouse-free. He’s a seasoned working cat who takes his job seriously—this boy lives for the thrill of the hunt and the freedom of open space. Bucko isn’t looking for a couch or a city apartment; his heart belongs in a barn, stable, farm, or quiet rural property where he can roam safely and independently. He’s low-maintenance, outdoor-savvy, and happiest when he has room to explore. While he may not be a snuggly lap cat, Bucko appreciates a caring human who will provide shelter, food, and a safe place to rest between his daily adventures. In return, he’ll offer you excellent pest control, calm companionship, and the satisfaction of giving a senior working cat the lifestyle he truly loves. “Bucko is FIV+, but he’s healthy, resilient, and perfectly capable of enjoying his outdoor working-cat lifestyle. If you have a barn or property in need of a wise, capable mouse-master, Bucko is ready to clock in!“. Give this noble outdoorsman the freedom-filled home he deserves—Bucko can’t wait to meet you!

Meet Taro! Taro is a serene, snow-white gentleman who dreams of a calm, cozy home where life moves at a gentle pace. With his pristine coat and soulful eyes, he’s happiest stretched out in a sunny spot, quietly soaking in the warmth and watching the world drift by.

If you’re looking for a peaceful, graceful companion who will bring a sense of calm to your home, Taro is ready to curl up in your heart (and your sunniest window). Taro is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all of her vaccinations. You can meet her at the CASPCA between the hours of 12 and 6 PM daily, no appointment necessary.

Story
🐾 Meet Mochi — Your Perfectly Plump Princess! 🐾 Mochi is a sweet, round little dumpling of a cat looking for her forever home! This adorable girl lives up to her name: soft, squishy, and absolutely irresistible. She’s a plus-size queen who believes snacks are a love language and naps are a lifestyle. Mochi is gentle, affectionate, and always ready to roll (sometimes literally!) over for pets. She enjoys lounging in sunny windows, slow waddles around the house, and supervising all household activities from the comfiest spot she can find. She’d be happiest in a calm home where she can soak up attention and continue her journey toward a healthy weight with someone who will cheer her on. Mochi gets along with friendly humans of all ages and may do well with other pets given proper introductions—though she will absolutely try to steal their treats if you’re not looking. If you’re searching for a cuddly companion with a big heart and even bigger cheeks, Mochi is your girl. Come meet her and fall in love with every adorable squish!
